Look at section 15.9 in the Org manual, "Using Org on a tty". There are alternative keys for all the keys that don't work on a terminal (on GNU/Linux, there is effectively no difference between a virtual console and a terminal). One other thing you might consider would be to run a minimalistic graphical environment. Instead of using a desktop environment like Gnome or KDE, use a simple window manager like openbox, or a tiling window manager like dwm, awesome, or stumpwm (my favorite). If the only application you're going to be running under X will be emacs, there's no reason not to use dwm for your window manager, actually. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
